I propose to take Questions Nos. 303 and 304 together.
Under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service which is independent in exercising its functions. However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and have been informed that the Courts Service owns one courthouse in County Wexford which is located in Gorey. The Courts Service also rents temporary courthouse and office accommodation at Ardcavan Business Park, Wexford at an annual cost of €101,750. In addition, the Courts Service owns a site at Wygram Place, Wexford Town which it is intended would be allocated for the construction of a new courthouse and office as part of the Government's Infrastructure Stimulus Package.
